Mentors, Funding, and Slippers: Building From The Ground Up with Mave & Chez’s Victoria Marshman (Part 1)
Description
This week on Inspire + Move, I’m joined by my wonderful friend Victoria Marshman, co-founder of Mave and Chez, the brand behind the chic, ergonomic slippers, that I also absolutely adore. Victoria takes us through the unexpected journey of creating a brand rooted in comfort, style, and purpose. Together with her co-founder Dani, they launched a product that addresses a huge gap in the footwear market and we dive into their backstory and navigating what its like to grow a business and product from scratch!
In this episode, we explore:
• How Victoria and Dani turned their passion for design and wellness into a luxury slipper brand.
• The aha moment that led them to launch and the challenges they faced along the way.
• The importance of building community through a product and how comfort shouldn’t compromise style.
• A peek into the creation process: from prototypes, to “shoe gurus” who helped bring their vision to life.
• The critical role of mentors, investors and funding in growing their business.
If you’re considering a product-based business, this episode is filled with insights and inspiration! Let me know your thoughts over on IG & stay tuned for part 2 of our conversation!
